Words to Live By- Frosted Designs Reveal

I have to admit, I'm having the best time playing around with all of these different sketches and really opening my eyes to all of the many possibilities that these sketches can bring..
for instance this one I used as my design team project for Frosted Designs Tuesday's sketch challenge..

So, here is my take on this weeks sketch:

I really wanted to make of these fabulous ruffled banners that our very own Annette over SOUS was kind enough to share a tutorial for.. Kudos to you Annette..!! and if you love them as much as I do, just click

HERE and it will take you straight to the tute...

So, instead of cutting a scalloped border, I made the ruffles.. Love them!!

I always try to make these sketches my own and get inspired by them.. Because I added the roses on the bottom border, I had to move the flower cluster up.. and then wanted the title to reflect the writing on her t-shirt which says " I love being Awesome!"..so, I added the big arrow..

by the way, that t-shirt fits her like a glove..LOL

here is the sketch I followed:

super cute sketch, don't ya think.. Lots of room to play around with..

and for a few close ups of the layout:

Here is a close up of the title and flower cluster.. oh and I love this photo of her ..I'm her best Facebook stalker, I'm always there looking at possible photos I can nab..LOL

and you can also see in this pic, how I emboss stampped some flowers in the upper corner, heat set them with clear embossing powder and then inked over them with Tim Holtz distress inks..

Here is a close up of the ruffled banner with the roses, which are by prima.. love them!! so super cute..

and a fuzzy close up of the t-shirt..LOL

she was coming to work( we work together) and I snapped this pic of her before she got dressed in her work uniform..
